What started out as a field trip to the Homewood City Hall for a
Homewood Middle School civics class turned into a script and short film
about their experience. The students had to navigate through a crowd of
protesting fire fighters and local TV crews to sit in a City Council
decision to trim the fire department budget. Using this occurrence as a
basis for a script, the students later returned to the exact same
council chambers and filmed their observance of their local
government in action.
